How does the volume of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
Well usually, the bigger the volume, the better it floats. But mostly, it matters about how much mass an object contains.
The reason a ship floats is because?
The basic reason that a ship floats is that the enclosed volume in the ship's hull is greater than the volume of water which has the same mass as the ship.
If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
If an object floats the volume of the displacement water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
Do hydrometers float higher in liquids that are more dense or less dense?
An object floats when it displaces a volume of fluid that is equal to its total weight. The more dense (heavier per volume) the fluid is, the less the volume is that must be displaced to equal the weight of the object that floats in it.Therefore an object floats higher (is less submerged) in a denser fluid.
Which one will determine how much water will be displaced - mass or volume?
Mass will determine how much water is displaced by something that floats. Volume will determine how much water is displaced by something that does not (that sinks).
How do you count the density of something?
to count the density of something you have to divide the mass of the object by its volume. ie.mass/volumeu can divide the mass of the object by its volume or see if it floats or sinksp = m/v

How do you find the volume of an irregular object which floats?
If you push it down, you can measure the volume of the displaced liquid.
How do you use mass and volume to determine density and why is this an important property?
Density is mass divided by volume. It is important because it is a measure of how tightly packed the mass of an object is. For example, density will tell you whether something floats or sinks.

Why dry ice CO2 floats?
CO2 floats because its density is less then water. Anything will float if its density is less then water. That is; when a certain volume of CO2 (or anything else) weighs less then the same volume of water.
How would measure the density of an object that floats in water?
Push it down to measure the volume.
How do you find the volume of an object that floats in water?
Push it down, and measure the displaced liquid.
